PC

Polycarbonate. Thermoplastic material belonging to polyester family.

Features and applications of virgin material

Strong, dimensionally stable, transparent, it's used for many applications requiring high impact resistance and high performance properties. The polymer retains its qualities unchanged at many temperatures and it gives excellent results when used in the electric industry, due to characteristics like dielectric strength and resistivity. It has a good performance to weather agents and mineral acids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, oils, gasoline and grease. It is self-extinguishing and can be sterilized, therefore very suitable for liquid food containers. Mostly used for coatings and sheets in the automotive industry, optical equipments and computers for medical industry, packaging industry for electrical, electronic and lighting products.
